The Lelit Anna and Breville Bambino Plus are both semi-automatic espresso machines aimed at beginner users. The Lelit Anna is priced at $569, whereas the Breville Bambino Plus comes with a slightly lower price tag of $499.95. Both brands are well-regarded in the espresso machine market, making them viable options for new espresso enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Anna utilizes a toggle switch for activation, has a single boiler with a heat-up time of approximately 5 to 15 minutes, and features a brass brew group with a 57 mm portafilter. On the other hand, the Breville Bambino Plus employs a button for activation, uses a thermoblock heating element, and heats up in under 5 minutes with a 54 mm portafilter. The Lelit has a water reservoir capacity of 2.7 liters while the Breville's is slightly smaller at 1.9 liters.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Lelit Anna is equipped with a boiler pressure gauge, solenoid valve, and a steam wand, but lacks auto shutoff and PID control.

Additionally, the Breville includes an auto shutoff feature for added safety, while both machines feature steam wands for frothing milk.
